Seriously, where the f*** can you buy a PS5 in Australia? And when will more be available? We asked all the retailers so you don’t have to.
If you’re looking for a good deal on the latest PS5 titles, you can check out our roundup here.
Update 3/4: The most recent hardware drop was at Target Australia.
Update 3/4: Amazon Australia currently has stock of the Digital PlayStation 5 edition. It briefly had stock of the PS5 disc version, but it looks like it’s now sold out.
Update 17/3: And they’re gone. Drops on the Sony store are very infrequent, and typically sell out within literal minutes so be fast. Keep an eye on this page for future drops.
Update: 30/3: They’re back! Head to Target here and grab yours now! You can pick up some controllers while you’re there!
Update 17/3: BIG W briefly had stock, but are currently out of stock again – surprise surprise. We’ll keep you posted when more PS5s become available. You can find the store page right over here.
Update 18/3: They’re gone. Make sure you keep a link to EB’s PS5 preorder page handy for future drops.
Update 7/3: With online orders still not available, your best shot with JB is to call up your local store and ask if you can be added to a pre-order list. Kotaku Australia readers have had success with that in the past; you can find all the phone numbers you need via the JB Store Finder page.
Good luck!
Following in Telstra’s steps, Vodafone announced they’re offering the disc version and Digital consoles through their Customer Care channel.
Vodafone’s page is taking registrations for people who want to add a PlayStation 5 to their existing Vodafone services. You need at least two eligible postpaid mobile, NBN or tablet services with Vodafone to qualify. There’s no saving (or gouging) on the price of the full-size console or the Digital edition, and you can choose to pay it off over 12, 24 or 36 months. It’ll cost $20.83/month on top of whatever you’re already paying Vodafone to get the disc based PS5, and $16.67/month for the Digital Edition. You’ll have to call up 1300 728 637 to confirm eligibility and place an order, but there’s no guarantee right now on stock.
Update 7/3: All out, unfortunately, but hopefully with other retailers getting supply The Good Guys will be able to re-open orders soon. Keep an eye on the store page here for when drops do come through.
Update: 23/3: Back in stock! Head over to their deals page now!
Update 7/3: Harvey Norman’s stock is gone for now, and there’s no word on when it’ll be back. Keep an eye on Harvey’s stock page right over here.
Update 7/3: There’s currently no stock at Kogan, and no PS5 landing page. Plenty of PS5 games, though.
